Wet clothes dry quicker when there is a breeze because

A

clothes swing in the presence of breeze

B

breeze is hot and evaporates water quicker

C

the evaporation process gets expedited due to removal of water vapour by the breeze

D

breeze helps in quicker condensation of water vapour present in wet clothes

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Wet clothes dry quicker when there is a breeze because," we need to analyze the process of evaporation and the factors that influence it. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Evaporation**: - Evaporation is the process where liquid water is converted into water vapor. This is the primary mechanism by which wet clothes dry. 2. **Factors Affecting Evaporation**: - Several factors influence the rate of evaporation: - **Temperature**: Higher temperatures increase the rate of evaporation. - **Wind Speed**: Increased wind speed enhances the rate of evaporation. - **Surface Area**: A larger surface area allows more water molecules to escape into the air, increasing evaporation. - **Humidity**: Higher humidity levels in the surrounding air decrease the rate of evaporation. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A**: "Clothes swing in the presence of breeze." - This option is incorrect. The swinging of clothes does not significantly affect the evaporation rate. - **Option B**: "Breeze is hot and evaporates water quickly." - This option is also incorrect. Breezes are typically cool, not hot, so they do not inherently increase evaporation due to temperature. - **Option C**: "The evaporation process gets expedited due to removal of water vapor by the breeze." - This option is correct. As the breeze blows, it removes water vapor from the surface of the wet clothes, reducing the humidity in the immediate surroundings. This allows more water to evaporate from the clothes. - **Option D**: "Breeze helps in quicker condensation of water vapor present in wet clothes." - This option is incorrect. If the breeze caused quicker condensation, it would lead to more water vapor forming, which would slow down the drying process. 4. **Conclusion**: - The correct answer is **Option C**: "The evaporation process gets expedited due to removal of water vapor by the breeze."
